Question
A hollow copper sphere & a hollow copper cube , of same surface area & negligible thickness, are filled with warm water of same temperature and placed in an enclosure of constant temperature, a few degrees below that of the bodies. Then in the beginning
- the rate of energy lost by the sphere is greater than that by the cube
- the rate of energy lost by the two are equal
- the rate of energy lost by the sphere is less than that by the cube
- the rate of fall of temperature for sphere is less than that for the cube.
The correct answer is: the rate of energy lost by the two are equal

A pan balance has a container of water with an overflow spout on the right-hand pan as shown. It is full of water right up to the overflow spout. A container on the left-hand pan is positioned to catch any water that overflows. The entire apparatus is adjusted so that it’s balanced. A brass weight on the end of a string is then lowered into the water, but not allowed to rest on the bottom of the container. What happens next?
